TV: FSFL, NSBA

The San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins meet Monday in MLB action at Marlins Park.

The San Francisco Giants look for a win here after splitting their last 14 games. The Giants have scored seven runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last 12 games. The San Francisco Giants have won seven of their last eight games when scoring at least three runs. Buster Posey leads the Giants with 117 hits and 51 RBI while Joe Panik and Denard Span have combined for 204 hits and 64 RBI. Ty Blach gets the ball, and he is 8-7 with a 4.15 ERA and 63 strikeouts this season. This will be Blach’s first career game against the Marlins.

The Miami Marlins look for another victory after splitting their last 10 games. The Marlins have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Miami Marlins have won seven straight games when scoring more than three runs. Dee Gordon leads the Marlins with 136 hits and 24 RBI while Marcell Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton have combined for 254 hits and 178 RBI. Adam Conley gets the ball, and he is 4-5 with a 5.43 ERA and 44 strikeouts this season. This will be Conley’s second career game against the Giants.

The Giants are 19-41 in their last 60 road games, 7-19 in their last 26 vs. National League East and 5-2 in Blachs last 7 starts. The Marlins are 4-0 in their last 4 home games, 8-3 in their last 11 vs. National League West and 2-6 in Conleys last 8 starts on grass. The Giants are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in Miami, 1-4 in the last 5 meetings and the over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

This is not a good spot for the Giants, as they just played 20 innings on Sunday and now have to travel to Miami to play a hot Marlins club that finished it's game early in the afternoon. The Giants bullpen is shot and that's not good with how well the fish are swinging the bats right now. Not to mention the Giants are the Giants, one of the worst teams in the league and not an easy team to back regardless. Have to like Miami in this spot.
